Fri, 07 Mar 2014 21:02:46 +0000http://inhabitat.com/?p=287996#comment-575112I would like to purchase an AQUS but Sloan has stopped distributing them. We have a serious drought in California. Perhaps someone from Sloan should contact Gov. Brown and see if you can get some state support to start manufacturing the AQUS again.

The size of the tank takes up a lot of space in the vanity. Toilets today use 1.6 or 1.3 gal per flush; so you should be able to reduce the size of the storage tank to 3.5 gal instead of 5.5. A more compact unit would appeal to more homeowners.

Wed, 04 Sep 2013 10:11:26 +0000http://inhabitat.com/?p=287996#comment-561869What is the maximum distance between the gray water tank and the toilet tank?
Are there plans to make larger systems?

Mon, 07 Nov 2011 00:05:38 +0000http://inhabitat.com/?p=287996#comment-359968I’ve seen a setup I prefer, where the sink is located on top of the toilet tank so the water drains in the tank automatically. I would invest in a sink that fits over my tank before one of these because it is more efficient and the space it takes up is usually unused anyway.

Sun, 23 Oct 2011 18:33:44 +0000http://inhabitat.com/?p=287996#comment-358197The AQUS consumes about $0.60 worth of electricity per year. That is because it runs in low voltage (12 VDC) for only 1 per day.

Great question when people are trying to figure out the true cost of water conservation.

Sat, 22 Oct 2011 20:48:02 +0000http://inhabitat.com/?p=287996#comment-358130Nice idea… but what is the power consumption of the pump motor to fill cistern for complete flush?

Tue, 27 Sep 2011 01:16:56 +0000http://inhabitat.com/?p=287996#comment-354918What a brilliant idea! Something simple and easy to install that any homeowner can use. Wish there were more products out there like this. Going green wouldn’t seem like such a big undertaking.

Wed, 14 Sep 2011 14:05:47 +0000http://inhabitat.com/?p=287996#comment-353186For $189, the AQUS was designed to usher in lots of kinds of water reuse. It’s Plug-N-Play design was intended to get a larger population thinking about reusing water.

I came up with the idea when I was 9 years old, patented the first prototype in 2000(30 yrs later). 11 yrs after that, people seem to be ready for a system like the AQUS.

Tue, 13 Sep 2011 14:50:53 +0000http://inhabitat.com/?p=287996#comment-353077This is a great solution for retrofitting existing toilets. While there are other solutions that will help you to reduce the amount of water needed per flush, this goes step further by recycling water already in the house.

Fri, 09 Sep 2011 02:02:35 +0000http://inhabitat.com/?p=287996#comment-352806This remninds me of the Dyson strategy.
Go to Japan. Find a successful, well incorperated technology. Return home. Sell it as your own revolutionary idea.

It is a great water saver though, we should also by using the system for washing machines.
